BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a multi-zone air conditioner system forlarge vehicles and a control method thereof, and more particularly, to amulti-zone air conditioner system for large vehicles and a controlmethod thereof, in which an air conditioning device independentlycooling each zone, a detecting device, and an input device switching anoperating state of the air conditioning device to an automatic mode or amanual mode are provided to implement independent cooling according toboarding positions of bus occupants, the number of bus occupants, andpersonal preferences of bus occupants and the zones are subdivided intothe front, rear, left, right, and center to independently control eachzone, improving durability and fuel economy of the air conditionersystem.

Description of Related Art

A large vehicle including a bus for multiple persons is provided with acooling device for cooling the internal of the vehicle. To perform thecooling, a roof-mounted air conditioner disposed with a condenserdevice, an evaporator device, etc., is disposed on a roof of thevehicle.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the existing air conditioner system having theair conditioner system as described above is mounted on the roof of thelarge vehicle 1 in which the air conditioning device 3 is integrallyformed. Depending on the integrated air conditioner, a single coolingsystem may be built in a large internal of the large vehicle as a whole.

However, in the present case, since the single air conditioner systemneeds to be operated as a whole, it is impossible to maintain a propertemperature uniformly throughout the internal by maintaining differenttemperatures in the respective zones of the internal. As a result, theroom temperature that an occupant sitting in the front seat and anoccupant sitting in the back seat feel is different, and therefore it isdifficult to satisfy the comfort of the occupants as a whole.

Further, the related art that partitions the internal of a large vehicleincluding a bus and supplies separate cool air through a separate airconditioning device only compares the room temperature of thecorresponding zone with the predetermined temperature to operate the airconditioner, and therefore has a problem in that it is not possible toperform cooling according to users' personal preference of therespective zones.

The information disclosed in this Background of the Invention section isonly for enhancement of understanding of the general background of theinvention and should not be taken as an acknowledgement or any form ofsuggestion that this information forms the prior art already known to aperson skilled in the art.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating a multi-zone air conditionersystem for large vehicles according to an exemplary embodiment of thepresent invention, and FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating themulti-zone air conditioner system for large vehicles according to theexemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a multi-zone air conditioner system forlarge vehicles according to an exemplary embodiment of the presentinvention may include air conditioning devices 150, 160, and 170configured to partition an internal of a vehicle into multiple zones toindependently cool each zone; a detecting device configured to include aroom temperature detector 140 detecting a room temperature of each zoneand a photo detector 130 detecting an amount of solar radiation; aninput device 110 configured to switch an operating state of the airconditioning device to an automatic mode or a manual mode; and a controldevice 120 configured to generate control signals for operating the airconditioning devices 150, 160, and 170 based on signals transmitted fromthe detecting devices 130 and 140 and the input device 110.

The input device 110 is a panel operated by a driver and includes a1-zone mode button 111, an automatic mode button 112, an air volumeadjusting device 113, a temperature setting device 114, an FR zonebutton 115, and an RR zone button 116.

The control device 120 may be formed as a full automatic temperaturecontrol system (FATC), for example.

The photo detector 130 that detects the amount of solar radiation may beformed as a thermosensitive semiconductor that detects a temperature ofsunlight or may detect the intensity of sunlight. The photo detector 130may be formed on both sides of the center (LH/RH) of the vehicle, butmay be formed at more locations than that.

The photo detector 130 measures the amount of solar radiation in theautomatic mode and determines whether or not the amount of solarradiation is a predetermined amount of solar radiation by temperature.When it is determined that the amount of solar radiation is appropriate,a blower and the air conditioning device are operated.

The room temperature detector 140 may measure the temperature of eachzone (six zones) in real time and transmit the measured temperature tothe control device 120 and may be formed in six corresponding to thenumber of set zones. The room temperature detector 140 may be formed asa thermal imaging camera or the like.

Although the air conditioning device is configured to include thecompressor 150, the condenser 160, and the blower motor 170, the airconditioning device may be configured to include the compressor 150 andthe condenser 160, wherein a pipe connecting between the compressor 150and the condenser 160 may be formed as two paths.

The air conditioning device is operated in the 2-zone mode by the manualmode when the re-partitioned multi-zone is formed as two zones of frontand rear or left and right according to the boarding positions ofoccupants, and in the zone in which a boarding density of occupants ishigh, the air conditioning device is operated depending on thepredetermined reference temperature and in the zone in which theboarding density of occupants is low, the air condition device isoperated intermittently.

In the present case, the 1-zone mode button 110 is pressed to turn off,or the FR zone button 115 or the RR zone button 116 is pressed toactivate the 2-zone manual mode. The FR zone button 115 or the RR zonebutton 116 is pressed and then the temperature setting device 114 ispressed to set the temperature of the corresponding zone in which theboarding density of occupants is high, and the air volume adjustingdevice 113 is pressed to adjust the blower air volume of thecorresponding zone in which the boarding density of occupants is high.

Therefore, in the zone in which the boarding density of occupants ishigh by manually partitioning the internal of the vehicle into twozones, the air conditioning device may be operated and in the zone inwhich the boarding density of occupants is low, the blower may beintermittently operated to protect the air conditioning device.

FIG. 6A, FIG. 6B, and FIG. 6C are diagrams illustrating a multi-zone airconditioner system for large vehicles according to various exemplaryembodiments of the present invention.
